So true - BLOGBloke
Oh thanks. Yeah, some of the most obvious ideas elude us until we write it down. Sometimes that's why I blog, just to remind myself of something, put it back in my consciousness. Writing it down puts a more indelible imprint on the mind. - Stephen Pickering

Breaking the Blogging Patterns - http://blogsessive.com/bloggin...
"At one time, many of us felt that a certain writing style or topic is more appreciated by our community. The obvious choice was to expand that topic and create follow-ups, or write aticles on other topics, but use the same writing style. For a period of time, that proves to be a good strategy, but in the long run, you and your community will experience saturation which will lead to a block. This is where diversity should step up and break your blogging pattern." - Alex Cristache
